That's a pretty weak list for Best Animated Feature. Brave was bad by Pixar standards. Pirates is probably the worst Aardmann feature yet. Was it really that bad of a year for animation?

The Hobbit should be considered animation.

[McParadigm]

Lincoln getting way too much love there anyway, but the soundtrack in particular was John Williams shrugging his shoulders and saying "I can't really be bothered....here, let me just copy-paste a few things..."

Also, the computer animation on the Hobbit villain was of video game quality.

[nyquillyn]

Sad... I have seen all the Animated Feature noms, but Wreck-It Ralph and none of the Best Pic noms. Damn kids!

[Bob Loblaw]

DiCaprio or GTFO

I haven't see any of the Best picture nominees either .

I am going to see Les Miserables this weekend though.

Lincoln.

I loved Brave.


and Lincoln is taking up way too much space. lot of other snubs.

[E.H. Ruddock]

If Wreck It Ralph doesn't win and Skyfall doesn't get best cinematography, I'm going to drive my car into a house.

1/3 of this is a serious post, btw.

[epilogue]

Just happy to see Beasts of the Southern Wild getting a good amount of love. I was afraid it would get snubbed.

Faith restored!

[Harry Lime]

I knew The Master wouldn't get a best picture nod, and that's fine, but to neglect the cinematography and Jonny Greenwood's score is unforgiveable.

And no directing nod for K. Bigelow and Zero Dark Thirty. That's a big, big surprise. You usually need that in order to win Best Picture.

[epilogue]

None of it will matter when Lincoln wins.

[Harry Lime]

None of it will matter when Lincoln wins.

I hope my irrational logic doesn't win out:

Americans don't care about the Oscars, but love Abraham Lincoln

Oscars shower Lincoln with love.

Americans more sympathetic to Oscars.

I haven't seen Lincoln, but I really hope it doesn't win. Personally, I'm pulling for Beats.

I still haven't done those things either.
